Bob Metcalfe re-evaluates open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Metcalfe remembers being accused of "likening the open source movement
| to Communism, which, as you know, failed after a 70-year experiment in
| the Soviet Union.
|
| [...]
|
| So while we can't say that the years have changed Metcalfe from
| anti-open source -- especially since it appears he was never as
| anti-open source as it was claimed -- to an open source evangelist,
| it does seem fair to say that he has become open enough to the benefits
| and possibilities of open source to become associated with it
| professionally.
